- The volume punch through on the 1994 can only punch through to the TV device, the C7's punch through can go to any device.
- The 1994 has backlighting, the C7 has glow-in-the-dark keys.
- While both remotes are 7 device remotes, the 1994 has one of the device keys hard wired to be an X10 Home Automation device key, but it's really a CD key in disguise!
- The C7 has device keys labelled 'Receiver' and 'DVD', the equivelent device buttons on the 1994 are labelled 'AUX1' and 'AUX2'.
- The C7 is a smaller remote with small number-shaped numeric keys.
- The 1994 is larger and has a better button layout IMHO.
- The 1994 has a 'favorite channel scan', the Cinema 7 does not.
- The C7 has a better selection of setup codes (see below).
Many useful setup codes had to be dropped from the 15-1994 to make room for all the Optimus/Realistic/Radio Shack setup codes that Radio Shack required to be present. I have compiled two tables below that list which codes are only available in the Cinema 7, and which are only in the 15-1994. I have left in the column which indicates if the code in question can also be found in the Producer 8 (URC-9800).
These codes are in the Cinema 7 but NOT the 15-1994.
